Here's a new one, have not read of this before...has happened enough times now that I've seen the pattern:

After using VALET mode, the X7 'forgets' all paired cell phones, and refuses to re-pair until the iDrive is rebooted. Very annoying, especially when the usual thing is to get in the car, turn off VALET mode and drive away from the hotel/restaurant/airport parking and boom!! my cell phone is no longer connected and I can't reconnect on the fly...

Happened with the 3/2023 software, and again now with the newer 11/2023.50 I just OTA applied....was kinda hoping it would fix this bug, but nope...

Anyone else experienced this behavior...will make me think twice about VALET mode in future.

Will have to try it on my 2019 X5, which has it's 11/2023.50 OTA update pending install....

I have a 24 XB7 I picked up in Nov and has the latest software.
I have used Valet mode only a handful of times but I have never had this issue.
